Compulsory Courses
Option Courses
The following subjects are compulsory.
With your rōpū class, everyone does:

Language options run for a full year; all other
options are half year courses.
If you DO want to study a language next year
choose your language for the full year,
and
two options
If you DO NOT want to study a language next
year
choose two option courses for Line1,
and
two options for Line 2.
Choosing your option courses
Some Year 11 courses have entry requirements. This means that you have to take the Year 10
option in order to continue to take it in Year 11, or you will need to make special arrangements
with the teacher or Head of Faculty. These subjects are Art, Drama, Music, Fashion, Design &
Visual Communication, Chinese, Japanese, Māori, and Spanish.
Make sure that you talk to your teachers and caregivers if you are not sure about your choices.
We cannot meet every combination. However, we make every effort to try and satisfy all
combinations. If not enough students choose a particular subject then it will not be possible to
offer it.
Your rōpū teacher will talk to you as you return your option requests. If there are problems that
you cannot solve, go and see your Dean, or you can make new choices.
